| Stage of Innovation | Stage 3: available/ ready for uptake |
| Year (Stage) | 2020 |
| Stage Description | A high quality Nile tilapia SNP array was created and validated in several strains. The open-access nature of the SNP array together with demonstration of its utility across multiple strains will facilitate its use in genetic research in this species. There have been sale permission requests already. |
